Finding Jobs That Align With Your Personal Values and Lifestyle

How can women in healthcare find jobs that align with their personal values and lifestyle?

So many women in healthcare think they have to fit their lives around a rigid job—but it doesn’t have to be that way.

It starts with getting crystal clear on what actually matters most to you.

Step 1: Know Your Core Values

When I coach women through career transitions, we always begin with their top three core values.
Yours might be:

• Health

• Peace

• A slower, simpler lifestyle

• Flexibility

• Time with your kids

• Community and connection

Knowing these values helps guide all life decisions—not just career ones.

Step 2: Make a Short List of Job Must-Haves

Once you're clear on your values, make a SHORT list (3–5 features MAX) of what you're really looking for in a role.

Here are examples from real clients:

• No nights, no weekends, no on-call

• A short commute or remote work

• Specific

Financial Health for Women in Healthcare: The Missing Piece

Did you know financial health is part of holistic health?

Holistic means whole. Whole-person wellness.
And guess what? That includes your money.

As women in healthcare, we are trained for so many things:
🩺 Managing life-threatening emergencies
⏰ Juggling back-to-back 12-hour shifts
😮‍💨 Pushing through exhaustion to care for everyone else

But when it comes to financial health?
We’re taught nothing.

Why So Many Women in Healthcare Struggle With Money

This lack of financial education keeps so many smart, capable, compassionate women stuck in cycles of:

• Avoiding bank statements

• Feeling ashamed or overwhelmed

• Taking on more shifts or degrees, hoping more income = less stress

But here's the truth:
You can’t outwork poor money habits.
Just like you can’t fix burnout with caffeine.

Financial Wellness Is Self-Care

The real game changer is understanding that financial health is just as vital as physical h...

Real Self-Care for Burned Out Women in Healthcare

Want to know the biggest life hack?
(Leaning in like I’m about to tell you a secret…)

Real self-care isn’t face masks or bubble baths.
It’s healing your nervous system.
It’s learning to prioritize your own health—before your job, your patients, your charts, your to-do list.

Don’t get me wrong. Bubble baths and lavender candles? Lovely. But they’re surface-level if your nervous system is stuck in fight-or-flight. If your body is running on survival mode, no amount of scented anything will fix the core issue.

What actually helps?

• Breathwork

• Meditation

• Boundaries (real ones!)

• Intentionally slowing down

The Game-Changer I Wish I’d Known Sooner

I used to think exhaustion was just part of the job.
But here’s the truth:
Chronic exhaustion is your nervous system screaming for help.

It’s not a badge of honor. It’s a red flag.

When I started learning about nervous system regulation, my whole world shifted. I stoppe...

Coaching for Burned Out Women in Healthcare: Break the Cycle

"I’ve coached over 100 nurses in my life."
And if there's one thing I know for sure?
Women in healthcare are experts at pushing through.

We’re used to figuring things out on our own.
We take the extra shifts, ignore the exhaustion, and convince ourselves that if we just keep hustling a little longer, something will give.

Sometimes that hustle looks like switching jobs.
Sometimes it’s chasing another degree.
Sometimes it's just grinding harder, hoping something will finally click.

But the truth?
We’re not fixing the problem. We’re just running in circles.
More drained. More resentful. More stuck than ever.

Coaching Isn’t Advice. It’s a Game Plan for Real Change.

That’s where coaching comes in.
Not as another thing to “do,” but as a strategy to actually transform how you show up in your life.

Coaching isn’t therapy.
It isn’t advice.
It’s a mirror and a map—built to help you:

• Uncover the hidden patterns that keep

Burnout Isn’t Part of the Job: A Wake-Up Call for Women in Healthcare

Dear women in healthcare—
Not taking a lunch break is not a badge of honor. It’s a red flag.

Coffee isn’t fuel. Burnout isn’t “just part of the job.”
And that bone-deep exhaustion? It doesn’t mean you’re doing it right—it means the system has trained you to ignore your own humanity.

You give care, compassion, and presence to your patients every single day. So here’s the question: When’s the last time you gave that same level of care to yourself?

The Truth You Already Know (But Keep Ignoring)

You would never tell your patient to push through dehydration, stress, and mental fatigue.
So why are you doing it to yourself?

That constant cycle of go-go-go, where your charting stacks up, your stomach growls, and your mental load spills into your off-hours—it’s not sustainable. It’s not noble. It’s burnout in disguise.

A Reminder for Every Badass Woman in Scrubs 🫶

• Your worth is not measured by how much you suffer.
